[QUOTE="Frank Koenig, post: 60486, member: 416"] Re: In search of simple home stereo type SPDIF I/O "preamp" +1 I'm using a Rane RPM26z (~$1000, new) as my home hi-fi "preamp" and love it. One thing to watch is that not all pro DSPs handle differing input sample rates gracefully. The Rane transparently converts all input sample rates to the internal 48k, which matters for me since I have a CD player (44.1k), computer sound card (48k or 96k), and a portable recorder (whatever I set it to) feeding it. I made a control panel that lets you choose a digital source, a preset (1 of 6), and set the gain. With the 0-5v external gain control there are many fun possibilities since all you need is a 10k pot. For instance, I have remote gains in different parts of the house, and a remote gain on a dongle that I can take with me to the sofa to ride gain on movies or whatever.
